It actually mounts much nicer than the P1 with all the tape, but it just won't fire the QFlash for some reason. I'm wondering if Quantum will want another upgrade to use the QNexus with the PX units. It seems every time I turn around I'm sending something to them for an upgrade. I admit it is nicer than buying new but it seems every time somebody changes something it has to be upgraded, at a cost, to work with Quantum. I do love my TD5 and would like it even more if I could fire it with a PX unit. Just thought you might have a little pull over at Quantum to have them check into it. Thanks for all you do. I read your blog first thing every day. It has so much good information on it. If I could only get you to switch over to Nikon then we would be all set.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-33866374893151567052009-02-19T09:27:00.000-05:002009-02-19T09:27:00.000-05:00I also think that the radiopoppers are pretty dead...I also think that the radiopoppers are pretty dead, after I have seen thos new pocketwizard units. and they are even more expensive - not a succesful business model for a newcomer.<BR/>also, I must say, that I personally don't like their mentionned blog. ask a critical question, they don't publish it - even if you are polite and the question is very justified.<BR/>I am not a particular friend of pw, but at least, they are not afraid of questions from potential customers - the same questions were published by the moderator.<BR/>I can say for sure, that I will never buy any radiopoppers<BR/>PhilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-44756345218180387382009-02-19T07:25:00.000-05:002009-02-19T07:25:00.000-05:00The helicopter!!!

This has been my major problem with them since day one. No ability to fire studio strobes with one transmitter and one reciever. Also the attachment method is very poor in my opinion. Pocket Wizard hit the nail on the head with the introduction of their new wireless transmitters. I am a Nikon shooter so I will have to wait until the second quarter of this year to get them, but I think it's worth the wait.JLykinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18202255092252248813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-89534315581863359162009-02-19T06:03:00.000-05:002009-02-19T06:03:00.000-05:00The helicopters are much harder to fly than they l...The helicopters are much harder to fly than they look...<BR/>Order extras blades as you will certainly need them!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
